GUIDE TO THE BANTING LISTS

One of your greatest assets, when you start Banting with Real Meal Revolution, is our Banting Lists. These lists tell each member what they can eat and when, while they navigate their way through the Phases of Banting for health and weight loss.

Banting Red List – Never Ever
Eat freely during Observation and then never ever eat them again.

Banting Grey List – It’s a Grey Area The Grey list is made up of foods, drinks and additives that we’re neither confident in giving permission nor denial. Each item may have a place in your life or culture but we don’t believe they are strictly beneficial for your health. They may, however, be beneficial for your sanity which can be equally important – we will leave that decisionto you. Be aware that regardless of your interest in the consumption of these items, the carb count is something you will have to keep your eye on.

(e) – high in digestive enzymes

Enzymes are necessary for every cell of the body – not just for digestion, but for all physiological processes.
